Talking about inter-urban rapid transit"
said the Old Citizen yesterday II have sug-
gestioR to make for the benefit of the COM
panies that are doing a transit business be-
tween the two cities. In the first place they
want to reduce the rates. Twenty-Five cents
is enough to pay for round trip between st.
Paul and Minneapolis. In the next place
they want to establish an exchange system
whereby ticket issued on one road will be
good ON any of the three short lines There
are the Manitoba, the Milwaukee and the st.
Louis lines, all doing transit business be-
tween the two cities ON the plan of each one
hogging the persimmon. They ought to man.
ifest some accommodation toward each
other as well as toward the public.

THERE are not many husbands these DAYS
like King HUMBERT of Italy. AT the opening
of the summer when his queen, MAR
GHARTTA, asked him if he thought her still
young enough to wear white muslin dresses
HUMBERT walked away without giving her
an answer. The queen quit worrying over
his silence when q week or two afterward she
received from Paris six white dresses of the
finest material and most youthful style. 1t
was delicate and practical method by
which the gallant HUMBERT showed his conf
Nv
tits singular how the bad things of a mans
life are treasured up against him while his
good acts go unnoticed Honor should be
rendered to whom honor is due. After all the
hubbub over the Wheeling Grand Army cpl
sode had subsidized, it occurred to some one to
inquire what did ex-President HAYES do
when he ran up against CLEvELANp's picture

HAYES credit that he didn't make fool of
himself. He did just as a gentleman and an
old soldier should have done. He rode right
under the flag with uncovered head and sa-
luted Mr. CLEvELAND's picture as he passed.

1t looks as tn, ugh Mr. RANDALL had lost
his grip on the Pennsylvania Democracy
w. L. ScoTT, the Erie statesman seems to be
the coming leader of his party in the Key
stone state. At least SCOTT and RANDALL
crossed swords in the Allentown convention
and according to popular impression RAN
DALI was badly wounded in the fray. 1t
may not be RANDALL's death wound, but it
will set him back for long time.

RYoung man. here is encouragement for
you. Several years ago son of Gen. BEL
his father to get him a clerkship in Washing
tbn. The father refused to do it. He told
his son it would be better for him to go out
into the country and find the most mental
Employment than to bury himself in a de-
bartment clerkship. The boy took his faith
er's advice and found a position as brakeman
on railroad. He made a good brakeman
and was promoted. He has continued to rise
by successive promotions until the other day
he was made assistant superintendent of the
road. Now he is glad that he didn't get the
clerkship.
Don't be discouraged. Your chances for
riding on the cable line this year are not so
bad after all. Building cable line is differ
ent from building house. With the latter
the tedious work is in finishing up. But in
cable line building the tedious part is in
making a beginning. The beginning has
been made on the st. Paul line andHthe work
ought to be pushed to completion before the
winter sets in. There are yet three full
working months and with a sufficient force
of hands at work there is no excuse for not
having chance to take Christmas ride on
cable line.
C. M. SHULTz-That was capital sugges-
ton made by the GLOBE to celebrate the 18th
of September as national holiday 1t will
be big day at the state fair and it is not too
late to arrange for a big night parade in st.
Paul. People viii come from all over the
state to see it. 1t is patriotic duty to cele-
brate the centennial anniversary of our con-
stitution.
